The movie from my 20 year old standpoint was good but very lacking. It tended not to focus on games themselves and focus more on the hardware. They mentioned a few key titles like street fighter, pong, and mario but neglected to mention things like pokemon or kingdom hearts.
In going over the systems they did a pretty poor job, yes i learned about the origions of gaming and about the first consoles but short of a BRIEF and i mean BRIEF commerical they played adverting the Nintendo hand-held and a persons testimonial about how a ds helped him keep amused while in the hospital: they made no mention of portable gaming systems let alone the xbox 1, ps4, vita, wiiU or 3ds.
They did a brief overview of most everything they didn't touch too long on any subject and left a overall very lackluster impression to me. In looking at it the best description for the film would be "Gaming technology then and now at a glance" or "gaming 101 a brief overview" the film lacked a good bit of valuable information but it did hold some appeal overall a very middle of the road production
